This whole house thing has been a whole mix of emotions for us. It's been super exciting, scary, stressful, fun, annoying, tiring...you name it, we've probably felt it. We put an offer in on the house I posted about a while back. We couldn't come to an agreement with the sellers so we just decided to walk away. At first I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do but I'm so glad we did now. It was a pretty annoying situation at first but now I'm so glad we didn't go for it. I'm a very emotional person and it's not always a good thing. Luckily, I'm married to a very logical man. We talked about how much faster we could reach our goals if our mortgage was a few hundred dollars lower. I decided to ignore my heart and go with my brain when Josh asked me what I wanted to do.
We went to look at houses again on Friday and we found one we love! The appliances need updating and there a few minor things we want to do but it's move in ready. There's nothing that needs to be done now. We will need to fence in the (very small) yard and we want to build a deck eventually. There's a patio already so we would have an outdoor area to begin with. Anyway...we put an offer in today! I'm over getting attached to homes. I'll be extremely happy if we end up in this house, but I'll be fine if we don't...I know we'll end up right where we're meant to be :-)
I don't want to post too many pictures now...it's part of the not getting attached to the house thing ;-) But here are a couple teasers.
I'll obviously want to make some changes in the kitchen but I really like the layout.
If you were to come visit us...this is where you would stay :-)
